The day started today with a beautiful ride along the Rio Grande canyon road.  I went about 23 miles and decided I was totally pooped.  It felt like something was wrong with me.  Whether the altitude, the accumulated mileage over the week, or the staying up for the campfire—I was just worn out.  So when I got to the first rest stop, I asked for a ride.  Phil took me to the second rest stop where I could get on the van.  We followed the set route and it was also a lovely ride, but the head winds were horrible.  Quite a few people gave up before the end of the day, and the rest were exhausted.  We were welcomed to Christ Lutheran Church in Santa Fe where we are housed, and another Lutheran church is bringing over our meals.

These people are leaving us. Not everyone goes the entire way

On Sunday, I was able to go to one service at each of the churches and then go sightseeing in Santa Fe, followed by all the writing that you have just finished reading.
